We have known Rebecca for a long time and Turbo has been a key part of her life for 12 years. When we first met Billy, we could see that they were perfect for each other and he quickly became obsessed with Turbo! In case you can't tell from the photos... they really really love their pup. Billy has a huge passion for comics and Rebecca shares in the love of fantasy. He makes her laugh constantly and it's clear to see these two are destined to be together. We can't wait to shoot their wedding later this month!
We first met baby Monroe when she was just a few days old. 1 year later, she is back in the studio cuter than ever! It was her first birthday and what better way to celebrate than with a pretty pink cake. Monroe went straight for the frosting, eating as much as her little tummy could hold. She was so happy - giggling, laughing and clapping the whole time! What a precious little one. Her parents are so lucky to have the most perfect happy baby!
Jenny and Andrew had a beautiful wedding day at the Liberty Hotel in Boston on a chilly day in the beginning of March. You can never predict New England weather and this day it was 17 degrees. Jenny wanted to take a few photos outside (Andrew skeptically agreed) and we all made about 5 minutes before we ran back inside to warm up! The best part of getting married at the Liberty is the beauty and chic atmosphere inside. A former jailhouse, there are 5 stories of balconies in this historic spot.
This wild adventure of a wedding was certainly out this world (hehe). Looking back at the wedding of Kellie + Steve brought back all the memories of the Storm troopers, fireworks, hot air balloons and the special message beamed down from the international space station.
It's no secret that we LOVE to travel. We would much rather have our passports filled up than our bank accounts but we got the best of both worlds when we filmed the unforgettable wedding in Italy last September. Jovan hadn't visited his family in 3 years so we took that opportunity to spend some time in Macedonia, where he was born. Visiting his grandfather and all the cousins, aunts, uncles, second cousins, etc is always so much fun and comes with the best food in the world. They say home is where the heart is and Jovan's home is definitely in the Balkans!
When two filmmakers ask you to film and photograph their wedding, it's always a nerve wracking prospect. When one of them is a veteran of LV and Above Summit then it's an even bigger undertaking! These two planned their elopement to be something totally different than anything we've ever seen before. They traveled to NYC and rented a helicopter, saying their vows to each other and sealing it with a kiss high above the city! After the high flying ceremony, we went to Top of the Rock to watch the sunset over the city. Finally, we took the short walk to Times Square and they had fun twirling around in the heart of the city.
We are so thrilled to announce that we won both the Wedding Wire Couples' Choice Award based on our great reviews as well as the vendor-voted Best of Borrowed and Blue! It feels incredible to be recognized both by our couples as well as our peers. Thank you to all our supporters, this is a great way to kick off the new year!
If you can believe it, having an incredibly stunning wedding on the Amalfi Coast was this couple's "Plan B". Don't worry folks, it all worked out and cemented stories to be told for generations. Discover the story of Michelle + Nick's dream wedding.
Danielle began getting ready at their house in Newburyport. Her adorable flower girls definitely stole the show as they thew a dance party, spinning in their tulle skirts and casting spells with their princess wands! Danielle was incredibly stunning in her lace gown and succulent bouquet. Dan got ready nearby and they both met at the Immaculate Conception Parish in Newburyport. After their traditional Catholic ceremony, they got in the limo and headed over to Turner Hill.
Elizabeth and Mike had a fabulous wedding in the heart of Boston. They originally met at work, sitting right next to each other! Mike sat behind Elizabeth and made her laugh all day long. They were cube mates for a couple of years and then started dating. Mike proposed at the Bunker Hill Monument and they knew then they wanted a beautiful Boston wedding in the city. Congrats guys!
When first meeting this couple, we could tell that Kasey has an eye for design. Anthony knows that with her high fashion taste, the perfect gift was a gorgeous Chanel necklace. She surprised him right back with a stunning Burberry watch. They had their first look in the gardens at Turner Hill in Ipswich. There were still leaves on the trees all the way into mid November with brilliant colors surrounding the property. We wandered the gardens taking in the beauty around us of the historic property.
We can't be any more thrilled that the gorgeous white and gold affair of Yiho and Michael has been published!
Their wedding took place at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge right along the Charles River. Elana has a creative eye and was drawn to the blueish gray tones of the recently renovated hotel as it perfectly matched her color palette. Her love of gems really showed in the beautiful details in the place cards and table numbers. She hand painted the gems herself! After the Ketubah signing, they had a beautiful ceremony under the custom made Huppa. For their reception, the band Night Shift really got things going with one of the most intense Horas I've seen. What a fun night, congrats guys!
One of our all time favorite Boston weddings was just published on Borrowed & Blue! If you can believe it, this was a do-it-yourself wedding from the very beginning. Everything was carefully curated by Ksenia (a graphic designer by trade) and it really shows through in the intricate details and gorgeous calligraphy.
Knowing Jillian for even a short time has taught us a lot about who she is. Loving, hilarious and oh so much energy! It's only fitting that Mike's calm is her perfect complement. When they first went out for drinks then dinner, they instantly had a connection. He proposed to her right after the 4th of July fireworks on the Cape. Jillian was hoping to find some sparklers and also received a moment she would never forget.
Natalie and Mario have known each other for ages. After connecting through mutual friends, they have been dating all the way since 2003. When Mario proposed, it was on Natalie's birthday. Earlier in the week, she arrived home early and found a package, thinking that it was the handbag she had been wanting. He played it off like the package was for his mom. At midnight of her birthday he gave her the mysterious package. As she was opening it up, to her dismay she found the big box empty! She then spotted a tiny box inside and looked to Mario who was on one knee. She may not have gotten that handbag but she got something even better!
Ashley and Matt met each other in architecture school and traveled abroad. After a long friendship, they finally began dating after graduation. Matt ended up proposing after thanksgiving dinner during a walk around the Doris Duke's estate in Newport. That was one of Matt's favorite spots after summers spend cliff jumping. It only made sense that they would be married in Newport, where Matt grew up.
Elaine and Tuan wanted their engagement session to capture the love between them and also the beautiful fall foliage. What better spot than at the Arnold Arboretum, very close to where Tuan used to live when they began seeing each other. The afternoon walk around the gardens really showed their playful side. When I asked Elaine and Tuan to make each other laugh, they instantly went to goofy faces. The gardens look simply stunning year-round, amazingly there are still flowers blooming this late!
The day kicked off, as it should, at their home filled with the laughter and warmth of family and friends. As Galen got her hair and make up done, Tom strolled about in his monkey slippers and pjs telling jokes and whales tales while sharing in drinks and toasts.
As the time neared for the ceremony, Tom looked dapper as he walked out the front porch and across the street to look out over the Charles River. Galen followed shortly afterward and tapped him on the shoulder to share in their first look. In the soft autumn light filtered through the leaves, the emotions flooded in for the first time as Tom recalled all the years that passed between them that inevitably led to this day.
Jennifer and Tobin came all the way from way out west to share their special day with their friends and family in New Bedford, MA. Jennifer did a fantastic job planning their wedding from afar, as Tobin has spent the majority of the last year deployed with the US Air Force. Their wedding day was filled with laughter, happy tears and lots of great memories. Their nautical themed wedding was accented with teal and coral. We made sure to take the drone out for a spin to snap a few photos of the beautiful day out on Buzzard's Bay.
